About Us
EMS Education Is In Our Blood, It’s What We Do!
Respond Right instructors are real-life firefighters and paramedics with years of experience in the field. Our instructors bring this experience into the classroom and create a dynamic learning experience for our students.
At Respond Right EMS Academy, we offer dedicated classroom and lab spaces for both the EMT and Paramedic programs. We utilize the best equipment to simulate real-life practice. More importantly, we train with an actual ambulance. Using real-life scenarios, training in our ambulance allows students to practice life-saving skills while stationary, as well as, moving, stopping, and turning. This type of training helps to prepare the student for their new career in EMS.
Respond Right EMS Academy (RREMSA) offers year-round, day and evening, EMT and Paramedic Programs. RREMSA also offers Anatomy & Physiology for Emergency Care, Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS), Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Continuing Education, Individual 1:1 Tutoring and NREMT Test Prep.
